I'm getting LASIK done within a week. I am practicing MMA. After LASIK, when can I resume exercise?

Asked By:Parismortis in Big Indian, NY

MMA i.e. Mixed martial arts, includes wrestling, kick-boxing, etc and involves hardcore freehand exercise. Blows to face n eye during a fight are common. Is there any risk of the flap in the eye that is created during lasik, getting dislocated if i get hit in the head or eye, even after sufficient recovery time (i am considering 6 months). Please let me know if i can ever feel natural during a fight, or do i have to take special precautions everytime, after the lasik.
